Real Madrid still the richest club in the world E-mail

According to a survey from Deloitte, Real Madrid is still the richest football club in the world.

While the Spanish titans retained their number one slot, they were closely followed by Manchester United and Barcelona at two and three, respectively. These three clubs were the top-ranked in the latest “Football Money League” report.

However, these top clubs have also been affected by recent the fall of the pound in the money market. Dan Jones, a partner at Deloitte attests, “If the exchange rate value of the pound had not depreciated, there would have been nine, rather than seven English clubs in the top 20 and Manchester United would have topped the Money League ahead of Real Madrid.”

On another note, Fenerbahce became the first Turkish club to make the list and German club Bayern Munich climbed three places from their rank last year, giving them a top five club for the first time in five years.   

Some ranked teams from last year didn’t make the list, including Celtic and Werder Bremen.

Here are the richest teams in the world as compiled by CNN World Sport:

1. Real Madrid (Spain) 365.8m euros
